Description:

A complete international human rights law course with which readers will acquire a basic understanding of the law and how to use it. Critical thinking is encouraged through numerous exercises and questions. Unlike other human rights texts available today this book views the law from the perspective of those most vulnerable to deprivation of their human rights. This view is based on more than fifteen years of experience bringing international human right cases to international tribunals and forums. The law is presented with a degree of objectivity that recognizes the significant role that developed countries have played in perpetuating human rights violations around the world despite their having initially instigated much of the modern concern for international human rights law. Volume One contains Chapters One through Nine as well as a full Index and Table of Contents. ISBN: 978-0974-3570-0-3.
